I say focus on the good if you can find it. Because everything can be taken away from us in the blink of an eye.

With that being said, as a lot of people already know, our brains during dreams will mash up a lot of our fears, problems and fantasies in life (personal/world stuff) because this is what we do... Even when we are asleep, we stress and problem solve. That is a very scary dream. To me, and I could be wrong, it seems like a mixture of Murphy's Law and the year we live in (2020). "What else can go wrong?".

I've had some dreams this year that I would like to forget. I'm sure nightmares are at an all time high in the world right now. You really can't turn on the TV without something being shoved down your throat (political ads, protests, covid, etc.). It would be nice if we could at least come to Jungle Noise and talk football without someone bringing up politics or covid every damn time. Yeah yeah, I know. "wElL iF iT aFfEcTs tHe TeAm". I get that, but it's probably 90% of JN right now. If someone mentions politics, covid is brought up and vise versa. Then you have people jabbing at religion and getting away with it. I'm sick of it.

My anxiety is pretty high this year. Mainly because there is no escape from 2020. Happy thoughts man. Focus on the good. Maybe pick up a hobby or two in the garage, stay off social media as much as possible if you are having that much anxiety that it's causing dreams like that. You're not alone. Trust me.

Yep... 2020 has been good in the way that it showed me how much I miss my normal day to day life that I always bitched about.

Truthfully the last 3 years have been rough for me. Divorce with a small kid involved, and the financial and emotional troubles that come with it were beating my ass... Things had started to come around on both fronts then THIS happened... So I guess in an odd way I was being primed for a year of non stop shittiness.

And you nailed the social media part... I unplugged 2 and a half years ago... I don't miss it a bit.

Things will turn around sooner or later... Hang in there fellas.
